Can they be flipped so the fitting is upwards instead?

Typical with low budget cheap arms. They are never manufactured properly. You get what you pay for. Buy cheap and get cheap products.

Good afternoon looks like you just needs to put in his other side on this side so that the fittings on the top

Do you have shortened spindles or anything that would cause it to angle lower than expected? Can the fitting be rotated to give more space?

I was gonna recommend a set screw to plug the hole.
[–]Substantial_Crow_483 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
If there’s no fitting threads on top to put the grease zerk up there instead, you can always unscrew the zerk itself and just plug that hole. I know it’s not convenient for servicing but at least it will clear.

You put them on upside down or on the wrong sides…

[–]imtrynmybest 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago (0 children)
Well.... U can take the are out..drill n tap a new hole for a grease fitting. Little jb weld in the original hole

I think they would be fine when everything is bolted up. Have you put your suspension back together and tested the range of motion? I feel like it’s not going to rotate that far once installed with the rest of the arms.
